11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:11-12

“My children, Salt is used to cure, preserve and enhance the flavor in food. I have called you to be the salt of the earth and bless my people with the Word and with love that breaks through the darkness that has them in bondage. Dare to be different and do not blend into the lifestyles that are not according to my ways for you can see that the wicked ways of the world only bring death and not life. Do not be afraid of being persecuted because of righteousness because the light will always break through darkness and life and prosperity and my favor will be yours when you are obedient to the Word. Remember that your reward is awaiting you in heaven and your time here is temporary. Shake the scoffers aside and rejoice in who you are in Christ. Take no value in the material or superficial things on this earth but enjoy the gifts that I have given you…peace, joy, love and each other.” This is the Word of the Lord.
